Hello guys.I have a galaxy mini and i tried to root it.Everything went fine.Then i saw that an application "Rom manager" would be helpful for my phone.

So i installed it(like an idiot).

Then i tried to install clockwork mode (smthg like that from rom manager) and boom!Everything went black.

I tried to go into recovery mode,download mode NOTHING.

I tried to a lot of things but nothing is working.

Odin recognises my phone when i use volume up+home+end!But it stucks on setup.Again tried to do it in that way but still nothing.

Last i tried that jig thing.I bought 3x100k ohm resistors and do it like he says(that video from youtube) BUT STILL NOTHING.

I dont know what to do!

I would be gratefull if some1 could give me an advice to make it to turn on!

Tyyy.

thanks guys for all opinion

really appreciate

ive done what i had to do
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuzaman:
you try flash the f3? or also, try use odin in this way? So how to proceed:

Put your phone to download mode (hold down: volume down, home key, power)

DO NOT plug in your phone yet, Odin / driver does not like it at this stage.

Start Odin3

Tick "Re-Partition", check that "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" have been ticked.

Click "PIT" button and select s1_odin_20100512.pit file.

Plug in the phone and wait until Odin finds it.

Click "Start" button... <Firmware update start...> <Get PIT for mapping...> appear. The phone will turn off and the screen indicates "Reset". Wait until Odin indicates "Pass".

Plug out your phone, remove the battery, put it back in and put phone to download mode again.

Click "Reset" button in Odin and untick "Re-Partition" box.

DO NOT select PIT file again.

Click "PDA" button and select "CODE_I9000XWJM7.tar.md5" file.

Click "MODEM" button and select "MODEM_I9000XXJM3.tar.md5" file.

Click "CSC" button and select the desired version "CSC_I9000???JM?.tar.md5".

Plug in the phone and wait until Odin finds it.

Click "Start" button and wait until phone reboots with the new software version.

i hope you can solve..

For JTAG, we need an addition NS JTAG addon (Yep, that cost another $150)

[Q] Galaxy S Bricked (i think)

Hi

Just got my new phone and installed Kies.

Found the update button and it said there was a firmware update (can't remember numbers etc).

Proceeded with update and it failed, now my phone is stuck at either the downloading screen (vol down/pwr/home) or a screen i can't find anywhere and i hav no idea what it means, pic attached.

I now cannot connect the phone to Kies.

How do i go about fixing the phone (flashing a stock ROM), i have had a quick look at odin but i have no idea what files i need or where to get them i.e. .pit, code, modem etc.

Any help would be appreciated

Semi bricked. Help appreciated

Yesterday I installed the new JPC firmware over Kies. Everything went well until I decided I wanted to flash ' Doc's RomMod Froyo V1 '

Following the tutorial I seen that I had to install the i9000_kernal.tar

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7917546&postcount=36

Followed this tutorial exactly and after going into recovery mode to use the update.zip my phone would not get past the galaxy s screen or go into recovery mode. Then I read an article on xda that said if you restart windows, plug your phone in and open Odin as soon as possible Odin will detect your phone. This was true, I flashed the i9000 kernal again and now when the phone boots it shows the Galaxy S screen and then boots into recovery mode showing:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/still

[Q] Bricked SGS, can I save it?

So I tried rooting my phone a while ago, and everything worked awesome. After that, the screen got a beautiful purple line across it, I called up support and om supposed to sent it in.

However, being afraid to void the warranty by rooting it, I decided to unroot my phone. And the **** hit the fan.

I tried downloading a terminal app, wrote su and rm -r /apps/system/superuser.apk (or something like that). Then the terminal crashed and the phone became unresponsive. So I yank the battery, and now the phone doesnt go past the boot screen (vibrant screen?).

HOWEVER, I can use the three-button system recovery, but none of the options makes it boot, even the factory reset feature.

Can my phone be saved, or will the technicans look at it, throw it away and call me laughning?

Please help, any info will be greatly appreciated!

I don't want to brick my Bell i9000m - I have some questions please

For starters, I must state first off that I am in the greatest sense a "noob"

I've had my Bell i9000m for over a month now (was one of the first in Canada to get it my best friend works for Bell). I am sad to learn I TOO have the 3 button download button thing disabled.

But I DID root my phone. I used ADB and was able to get it into recovery mode. I rooted it so I could use some cools apps and stuff and also to over clock it. Also installed the so-called "1-click lag fix" from Ryan via the market.

So here are some questions I have with regards to this phone and hope you guys can help me as I'm still in learning mode.

(1) I have installed Keis, and while I haven't yet ran the program etc. yet, I have read about the firmware update "bricking" a phone. If I update my firmware through Keis -- (while it is rooted) -- what will happen since I can't get into download mode ? Should I update it ? Should I wait for the Froyo 2.2 update from Bell ? Do I have to un-root my phone if I do this ?

(2) What's the diff. between recovery and download mode? Can you get into download mode via ADB just as I did with recovery ?

(3) Since my 3 button is disabled, and it's way past my 14 day period, what should I do ? I want Froyo 2.2 so bad ! but I'm afraid of bricking my phone.

What the funk is wrong with Samsung ? This phone has the ability / potential to OWN any other phone out there in the Market, but even my old Palm Pre had better software !

Basically I want to know If/When/How I should update to Froyo 2.2

Should I wait for the "official" Bell release ? and then what, do it via Keis ? Is it easy ? I've heard stories of people doing this and bricking their phones !!

Or should I just flash it via Odin or what-ever that is ?

and what's the deal with ROM's ? what's the best / fastest and why ?

Thanks so much guys

Cheers

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
the other method is loading the ROM via ODIN3

you'll need to download Odin3

and the ROM files that matches your phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ull1s:
Thanks for the help, but I gave up and decided to sent it in to service with "doesnt boot" in the error report:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
You do not need to unroot to update firmware. However, your root will be overwritten, just all all other data on your phone (Sd cards not included).

Recovery is a selectable menu for updating via a .zip file. You can also factory reset from here.

Download mode is just that. A screen with no options, where you can flash (download) new firmware onto the phone.

I suggest waiting for an official Bell 2.2 Froyo rom. If you do manage to brick the phone through kies/odin with a NON-Bell rom, it may not be covered under warranty. However, if you wait for a Bell rom, and upgrade through kies, it will certainly be covered under warranty if the phone bricks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Froyo is NOT out yet, what you read are the BETA versions which are still too buggy to use.

It doesn't matter if you upgrade Froyo from Kies or via Odin, if it fails it will fail, and without the 3 button the recover the phone is bricked.

there is no Official Bell way to upgrade the phone, because the official way is through Kies, and the same bad luck can happen if it does happen, as you have read several people encountered even upgrading to the legit JH2 ROM

most of the time the problem during upgrade is due the PC USB port being buggy

worse offender is Windows 64 bit (vista / 7 ) safest to use WinXP 32 bit, on a good computer with good USB ports

since your buddy works at Bell, i'll suggest you to have him try out all the units available until he can find one that have the 3 buttons working, and exchange it with yours.

is easier to have them change it for you now, than risking getting it bricked, and then be without a phone for 5+ weeks on repair
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkadelick:
Thanks man. Good idea.

I think I lost my receipt and **** though. I still have the box kicking around though. And I also have that $5/month replacement fee for a new phone if I break mine.

But I think I will wait for the official Bell Froyo release -- any word on that? I heard sometime this month!

Also, you said I lose all my data if/when I update firmware/flash

You mean all Apps? contacts? etc ?

I used Titanium Pro to back up my apps and such. How easy is it to recover all your stuff? It must be easy I would assume since so many people are doing it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
noooo do not restore backups from one ROM to another ROM using titanium backup

it will break things

yes you will lose all contacts and apps

but that is the cool thing with Android and gmail accounts

everything is stored on your gmail account

so after the Wipe, you just sign in to your gmail account and everything is back

even the android market stuff, if you synced

I lost the receipt though dude (I think) so I'm not sure how he can exchange it for me (even if he does find a working 3 button phone)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Yeah, everything, just like getting a new phone.

As far as I know titanium works fine. You may have some compatibility issues going from 2.1 to 2.2, but I'm not sure as I've never used it. From what i've read, it's certain apps, which may take some trial and error to figure out which ones.

I just have everything synced through google myself. So I don't worry about contacts/calendar. But every time I flash or factory reset, I have to re-setup all my programs/settings, which is a pain. But I've done it so often I can do a full setup on my phone within an hour :P
